Welcome to WikiProject Dogs/Dog photos task force, a task force for managing photos of dogs on Wikipedia.
All photos of dogs or specifically related to dogs (doghouses, etc.)
Wikipedia itself seems to discourage the categorization or gallerizing (turning into galleries) of photos, yet continues to allow people to upload photos here, which they have always done and continue to do prodigiously. Hence, we have no way at all of keeping track of dog-related photos.
The original dog-breeds project started doing this by creating galleries of all dog photos uploaded to Wikipedia and sorting them by breeds, whether or not the images were placed in articles:
but these pageswere deleted in 2007.
This suggestion led me to believe that moving the album pages under the auspices of this project--which I have now done under differnt names (Feb 8 2008)--at least will enable us to keep track of such photos (especially if project members take a moment to add any newly uploaded photos to the list) and have an easy way of finding them to move them to Commons. (Which , as of Feb 2008, I believe is still a one-at-a-time manual process of downloading to your own system, uploading to commons, then copying and pasting all the info from the original photo to commons, then deleting the original photo...)
